Just got a new phone. What steps can I take to ensure the best battery life? I recall reading that you should discharge to 33% and then charge to 100%. Is that correct?

Hi, guys.

I'm on the hunt for a phone since my XCover 3 is never getting root. After looking at LineageOS supported devices I found they're too much of a pain in the ass. My top limit is about 250$, but since Czech prices are shit compared to US, I would count that a 200$US phone will be about the limit for me.

My requirements:

ROOTABLE, I don't want Gapps
replacable battery would be a nice feature
MicroSD card slot is a must, I listen to a lot of music in my spare time, but if hard pressed I might go without it

That's pretty much it, I suppose. Anyone got any recommendations? Thanks, guys, I really appreciate your help.

>>61440259
OK, noted. It's about the top margin there (5499CZK)

Would a DooGee be any good? A friend's got one and I can see a load of them on chinksites...

>>61440267
No one should buy the p10 unless you want to play roulette on the speed of your fucking phone. Look up "P10 storage issue"

You should also NOT get the LG v30. No removable battery, LG still hasn't updated the v20 to 7.1.1, and they are known for dropping support on their phones. LG v20 is still an awesome phone, and is only ~$400

>>61440358
My main issue with the Axon 7 is the fact that no one can confirm that it uses it's AKM DAC in anything but the stock music player. The phone was parading HIFI, and it defaults to the Snap820's DAC.

Post some pics of the apparently shitty music player, and try switching audio to see if there is a difference. NOT DOLBY.
Also how do you like the capacitive buttons? I really like how i don't have to use Android's FUCKING horrible "Soft Keys" that take up the screen real estate

>>61440455
I don't get how people on /g/ don't rage against the on-screen Android buttons.
The screen is usually only 5-6", and you're going to take that up with gay ass software buttons? Every phone has an unused bezel, put hidden buttons there or something.
How can you argue FOR software buttons? Bezelless screens are just now coming out.

So, a few days ago my Zenfone 2 died. When I press the power button it vibrates but does nothing, no screen and no light even with the charger plugged in.

When I try to reload the firmware with the IntelSoc driver, it loads the firmware, but the it restarts again and starts again. Any ideas?

I'm not much of an audiophile these days, so I can't answer the first one for you. But playing audio thru the stock music player and the Play Music app showed no difference for me.
The buttons are great, the ability to change their behaviors is a plus for me. Some wish they were backlit tho, not an issue for me atm

Can't decide between the

LG G6
S8 plus
HTC U11

Each have their pros and cons, I cant decide which to get.

>>61440758

What's a good smartphone with the following features:

Removable battery.
As card slot.
About 5 inch screen. 1440 preferable but 1080p works.
Headphone jack.
More powerful than an LG v10.

A physical keyboard would be nice too (no portrait failure keyboard...ever.) but not required.

So what fits this honestly easy as Hell fairly average feature set?

They had a supposed leak, but it only has a better camera, processor is basically the same, screen same, design same.

>>61441576
so basically it's an Axon remake but with the camera fixed? I heard bad things about the Axon 7's one, but I don't care.
Could show that the 7 basically holds up today by not needing anything new atm

Well every iPhone ever has had a sealed battery and they still sell like hotcakes, I guess the average buyer just doesn't care about having a removable battery that much. LG G5 and V20 were the last flagship phones that still had a removable battery, G6 doesn't and V30 most likely won't either.

Hi guys.

I'm trying to find something to replace my three-year-old Android phone with. Android has pissed me right the fuck off so far and it looks like the new versions are only getting worse, so I'm hoping for something else.

My options are basically these:
- get a second-hand BlackBerry Q10 ($90) right now
- get a new iPhone SE ($400) in a few weeks

What would you do?

>>61451691
Oh damn nice. Why didn't I try it. It works as I like, but hopefully there is nothing to get disappointed later on.

Thank you, I had a customer buy a vernee thor and he could barely use it because cheaper antenna use 2g to connect to 4g or 3g.

I removed root from my phone and reflashed stock image ages ago (thanks FGO) but apparently now if your device has EVER been rooted you'll fail safety net for some reason so I ended up having to do a full factory reset to pass safetynet again

Is there some other solution besides a factory reset because one of the games I'm playing doesn't actually use safetynet to detect root but some other method that magisk hide doesn't evade

>>61451876
I think your bootloader needs to be locked too

>>61451389
>a small form factor
That's the thing, it isn't even that small, 5.5'' 2:1 is still 5'' 16:9.

>>61451817
Not really. The Android ROM community is pure cancer. The only vaguely trustworthy thing you could use is LineageOS, but it tends to suck on anything that isn't a Google device.

>>61452032
Forget it than, couldn't I just reflash it with the global rom? I cant find it from anything that looks like the xiomi official site

Either the Blu R15 HD (60$ 5 inch 720p 2 gigs ram) or the Moto e 4 (100$ 5 inch 720p 2 gigs ram and fingerprint sensor).

They're both great phones for the price, the Moto has a fingerprint sensor and is a little better, but not by much. If you want the best value for your money, grab the blue R1.

>>61452107
I read that it was mostly the re-sellers and merchant outlets adding the malware.

That's right. The Chinese MIUI ROM has some chink apps that you could consider as adware / malware, but not the Global ROM.

>>61451714
You couldn't have chosen devices that are more different than those.

That iPhone model is the shittiest they've released in a long time, senpai. Better use an old ass Nokia for some months to save up for a 4.7" or a 5.5" iPhone. I'll sugest the plus models, they are not that big and they have bigger batteries, better cameras, higher resell value, etc. Some anons may argue that the non plus models are for manlets and cucks.

Non Android Blackberries are dead. The last model released was the Z10 in 2015. But if you still want that physical keyboard, the Classic model is also cheap when bought used, and it is the update of the Q10.

I don't know what phone you have, but I was also very pissed at android until I got a Nexus 5X. Stock Android is so much better than Samsung Shite.

fucking why? all I want is a flagship phone with a 4000mAh battery, and I don't care if it's not paper thin.

Not worth it at that price. You can get a Redmi Note 4 Global for cheaper that's superior to it in every way.

Huawei Mate 9

>>61452248
I'd say it is not a bad deal, but what >>61452266 has pointed out it's interesting.

But be very careful to pick the Global version, since it has a Qualcomm processor with good rom support, where as other versions of the same phone have a MediaTek processor that are complete garbage and with 0 roms available.

Fuck MediaTek man

your best option for a big battery phone is one of the Moto Z modular phones and a battery mod for it. Alternatively a LG V20 with an extended capacity battery (there's 6400mah and 10,000mah available)

>>61452446
Yeah, the Moto Z Play is what I'm likely going to go with next. I'm still using a Droid Turbo from 2014 and have been having trouble finding anything preferable. Even with the Z Play I'm going to be sacrificing resolution for a fingerprint scanner and better battery life.

What's a nice phone for around $200? I bought a Huawei Honor 5x and it bricked in less than a day.

How does one conquer the problem of WhatsApp (among other apps) notifications not arriving some times?

I had this problem on Marshmallow (CM13), and I still have it on Nougat (LineageOS). I've always had battery optimization turned off for WhatsApp.
On Marshmallow I "solved" it by using a Tasker plugin to check if WhatsApp process was running and notifying me when it died for whatever reason. This doesn't work on Nougat, because that Tasker plugin just sits there doing nothing at all.

What do?

I was going to go for a huawei p10 lite £220. But someone has pointed out there might be memory problems. Can anyone sway me on this...

I don't care about camera at all. Just good performance and something well built that will last a long time, dual sim and good memory. Extra battery on p2 is nice and I hear the screen is superior.

What is the difference between P2 and P2 vibe?

>>61452847

That was the regular Huawei P10, which is a completely different phone hardware-wise to the P10 Lite

If you say no, show me anything as technologically advanced and good looking as galaxy s8.

>>61452258

But it is not actually a big deal since it won't have much time to overheat with half the battery life of a s8.

The fact that its design is straight up copy of galaxy s6 doesn't help either.

Not even talking about "shitty camera wehh" shit, at this point couldn't care less, talking about "freezing and crashing 24/7 to the point where it just turns into a useless brick" shit.

I know I have small hands too, but for fuck's sake. Even 4,5 inches is enough to slip off my hand a little.

And the buttons too.

>Albums with cover art clutter up my whatsapp image gallery

So how do I hide the folders from whatsapp while letting them be visible by music players, what are my options?

>>61456106
This is probably the pain in the ass way, but you could try embedding the album artwork into the mp3's and then remove the image from the folder after you're done.

>>61456149
>embedding the album artwork into the mp3's

Unless there's a batch program it'd take hours

>>61439452
Try Clover and Chan Burauza ( downloads files faster than clover for some reason)

>>61455653
P9 was a great phone for the price and apparently the P10 is better

>>61456234
IDRK I haven't bothered with that type of stuff for a while. I'm sure there's a batch utility out there somewhere. Look at mp3tag or easytag. If not idk then. I've never used whatsapp, so with galleries I've either had the option to hide certain folders, or I stuck a .nomedia file in folders with images I didn't want to view. Probably can't do that without making your music invisible though.

>>61455352
Don't really want to import because I had done it before, and it was a huge hassle to send the damned thing back for warranty. I'd rather pay some more for local services
Also 4x seems much better than 4a and is about $20 more expensive

>>61456833
>How full is your current phone?
Currently using 16gb + 128gb sd card but only use 30gb on the sd and pretty much all of it on the internal.
64gb sounds fine but I have had to uninstall apps from time to time just to fit on new updates of other apps.

>Also how's your data plan?
Have thought about it but only get 3gb/month, don't think that's enough
I might be able to do it if I switch to a plan which supports free music streaming

>>61456910
Apple's official support cycle is much longer than Android's and all updates are pushed out to all devices simultaneously upon release. Have fun relying on street shitters for security updates poorfag

>>61456941
Keep in mind that evil marketers across the globe advertise storage capacity as if 1KB = 1000 bytes. In reality 1KB = 1024 bytes. This means that you lose ~5% of every MB, ~7% of every GB, and ~9% of every TB to the evil marketers.

So, a storage medium (hard drive, flash, etc) advertised as 64GB really only has 59GB. If Android takes up/reserves ~5GB then that leaves you with 54GB.

Annoying, I know, but every tech company in the world (that I know of) uses the same evil marketing scheme.

>only get 3gb/month
Yeah, not gonna be enough for streaming. I'd get the 128gb just to be on the safe side, you'll pay more now but it being the 128gb version will also increase the resale value of it.

>>61456566
Not for the RAM, but for the storage possibly (can't move apps to SD on MIUI)

>>61457057
Apple only drops support when it becomes technically unfeasible. They're still supporting their first 64-bit handset from 2013 too, so...yeah. Why is it so hard to admit that support beyond the first year is a major weakness for Android handsets? Apple does a lot of bullshit, but this is one area where they do things right.

>battery drains quickly
So I know that might be kind of fast for a brand new phone, but after being used to my phone, I look at that with envy. I've had the same phone for years, and it's still got the original battery in it. I have 45-60 minutes of screen on time, and the battery dies at around 25%. Yeah, that bad. Even if I don't use it all day, it'll still die before the day is over. Using it for GPS drains the battery so fast I can watch it tick down lol.
